if you got following message: You cannot change the open item management
setting; (see long text)
Click on the Longtext.
Instead of change the OIM, you should create a new account with the correct
setting and use this to make a transfer posting of existing items.

Please do the following steps.
Make the G/L a/c balance zero by posting a journal entry
2. Tick the open item management tick box and save the G/L master.
3. Execute the standard program RFSEPA02
4. Reverse the entry posted in step 1

Hi,

The process that ramkumar_bala pointed out, is the same process that I
would follow if you would like to activate OI on a GL that already has
documents against it.

Once you have set the indicator on the GL master, execute the standard
report RFSEPA02 on that GL account only, and it will update all the
documents on the account making them open items.

Read the documentation that comes with this report before executing it,
to fully understand what it will and will not do.

HI All if you are using version ECC6 and have enhancement pack 3 installed then you can use FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP as indicated by one of the other responders but you don't have to have new GL turned on to do this. We have just successfully used the transaction which can do all the movements automatically for you. One word of warning though we could not get the program to post the line items back into the GL account it only posted a bulk entry that we then had to recreate the detail for and journal it back in there. It is actually a really quick process but test it first on your account using the test run option.

Please do the following steps.
Make the G/L a/c balance zero by posting a journal entry
2. Tick the open item management tick box and save the G/L master.
3. Execute the standard program RFSEPA02
4. Reverse the entry posted in step 1
